Explosions were reported in Tehran after US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the day would see the “most intense” US strikes on Iran so far. Residents in the Iranian capital reported loud blasts overnight as air strikes continued. Videos shared online showed damage and people rushing away from strike areas. Hegseth said the United States was increasing pressure on Iran as the conflict continues. The White House said the war would not end until Iran’s “complete and unconditional surrender” and when President Donald Trump says US goals are met. Iran issued a warning in response. A senior Iranian security official wrote online, “Be careful, so that you won’t get eliminated.” (PC: BBC)
